It's not too late to add your comments to our tactical dialogue on Using Radio to Empower and Engage Communities.   Human Rights groups are finding new ways to reach their audience through radio.  This dialogue, held from May 26 to June 1, 2010, brought together human rights practitioners using community radio to empower communities, shortwave radio to reach communities limited by government-run media and radio stations, and other innovative uses of audio to share critical information.  Join us to share your own stories, challenges and resources!
